RE: maybe some changes in missouri
I hunt in Mercer County, in the middle of the state, just a few miles south of the Iowa state line. I like the 4-points-on-one-side rule. I hate to see potential monster bucks taken before they have a chance to grow adult headgear. If I just want meat for the freezer, I'll take a doe any day.
As for moving the antlerless season to October, I don't think I'd like that at all. I put up with the warmer temperatures when I bow hunt in October, but there are a lot more deer taken with firearms. Nobody will have enough ice on hand.
The size of Missouri's doe herd will be dramatically reduced by moving the antlerless season to October, simply because there will be more hunters in the woods.
